No. Rodents are placental mammals and kangaroos are marsupials. The two are not even remotely related.

Confusion can arise from the fact that there are kangaroo rats, which are rodents of North America, and rat-kangaroos which are marsupials, and members of the kangaroo family in Australia.

All kangaroos are mammals. However, there is no specific species known as a "western kangaroo". The closest would be the Western Grey kangaroo which, obviously, is a mammal.
